Asha Takahashi lands in Japan searching for her roots-armed with a photo, a name, and a suitcase full of questions. But the moment she steps into the quaint, too-perfect town of Kurashiki, something feels off.
People watch her like they've seen her before. The silence hides too many things. And the town's power doesn't come from electricity-but memory.
What begins as a personal journey quickly turns into something far darker. Asha is being watched. Hunted. Pulled toward an ancient truth buried deep in the town's bones-and maybe in her own blood.
A coming-of-age gothic fantasy of forgotten bloodlines, cursed legacies, and the monsters we inherit.
